NFL Fines Eagles’ Jalen Carter $57,222, No Further Suspension After Spit on Dak Prescott

The decision follows a review of the Week 1 incident under the league’s stepped-up sportsmanship enforcement.

Overview

  • Carter’s early ejection six seconds into the opener was deemed the equivalent of a game absence, costing him his full Week 1 game check.
  • League discipline stops at a fine, and Carter will be available for Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs after choosing not to appeal.
  • Agent Drew Rosenhaus said Carter will focus on Kansas City, and reporting indicates the Eagles agreed not to use the episode to void contract guarantees.
  • Broadcast replays showed Prescott had spit in Carter’s direction beforehand; Prescott said he routinely spits during games and was not penalized.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni kept any team discipline private as the Eagles echoed accountability messages aligned with the NFL’s sportsmanship emphasis.
